Lighthouse craft!

Yesterday we were talking about how we can be a light to the world....who can we show kindness and love to? Who is hard to love that really needs love? What does that look like? John 8:12 says When Jesus spoke again to the people, He said, " I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life." So, then we thought it'd be fun to do a craft to remind us. Thank you, Pinterest. Once again I fall into your black hole and come out with a plan to bring some creative fun to my kids! They brought them to their rooms for night lights & they LOVE them!!

You'll need:
red Solo cups (round, not the squared ones)
clear smaller cups
battery powered tea lights
white strips of paper, or white tape (abut an inch wide)
black construction paper
glue

Kyla turns 10!!

How did my baby get to be this old?! We celebrated 10 years last month for my oldest. I love the heart and compassion of this sweet thing. She loves to show love in little ways....gifts, notes, and sweet words. I love watching her grow into such an amazing young lady. She LOVES to read too, so for her party we chose a "book club" theme. It was SO much fun to prepare with her help this year! :) We had a great time with family and friends! I love you Kyla. Thank you for you. ♥
